At nine o'clock the next morning, Nangong Aotian got up and packed up, then entered the front hall. His Royal Highness the First Prince arrived, followed by two intermediate martial masters.
"Duke Nangong, I wonder why you came to see me?" The eldest prince Liu Jianguo sat on a chair in the front hall, took a sip of tea and then asked, "You are so anxious to find me, you must have something to do, right?"
"
"I hope His Highness the Eldest Prince will forgive me for delaying the eldest prince's early court appearance." Nangong Aotian saluted Liu Jianguo before sitting down and said.
"Haha, it's okay. Unless there is something special, I don't have to go." Liu Jianguo said with a smile.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I came to you to tell you something." Nangong Aotian looked at Liu Jianguo without blinking, "I was attacked last night. There were seven people in total, three of whom were warriors."
Respect the four martial spirits."
"What?" Liu Jianguo was surprised. "Who dares to attack the Duke?"
"I'm also very strange." Nangong Aotian stared at Liu Jianguo closely and said, "I haven't offended anyone in the imperial capital. Who would kill me? If someone hadn't suddenly come to rescue me halfway, I wouldn't know it now.
Where is it?"
"It seems like Duke Nangong is doubting me?" Looking at Nangong Aotian's eyes, Liu Jianguo frowned and said.
"It's not that I doubt His Highness the First Prince, I don't dare to have the courage." Nangong Aotian's voice was very calm, "But these seven assassins helped me correct His Highness the First Prince before they died."
"This... this is impossible." Liu Jianguo's face suddenly straightened. "I definitely did not do this. Do you believe what they say?"
"I don't want to believe it either, but I have to doubt it." Nangong Aotian said calmly.
"I think the person who attacked you must be sowing discord." Liu Jianguo said seriously, "I definitely did not do this."
"Fortunately, I have brought back the bodies of these assassins. I hope His Highness can identify them and see if there is anyone you know inside." Nangong Aotian said and waved his hand.
Soon, several strong warriors carried the bodies of seven people to the yard outside the living room. Of course, these seven bodies were the seven assassins who attacked Nangong Aotian.
Liu Jianguo and Nangong Aotian stood up and walked out of the living room together. Soon they reached the front yard.
Seeing the seven corpses on the ground, Liu Jianguo frowned slightly. He walked over and squatted down to carefully examine the injuries on the corpses. The two martial arts masters who came with him also squatted down to examine carefully.
"Does His Highness the First Prince deny these assassins?" Nangong Aotian waited for Liu Jianguo and the others to see each corpse before walking over and asking.
"To be honest with Duke Nangong, I have never seen any of these people. However, the death conditions of these people are a bit strange. Especially this bloody hole. I don't know what kind of weapon caused it." Liu Jianguo pointed to a hole on a corpse.
Xuedong looked at Nangong Aotian and asked.
Of course, this bloody hole was caused by Nangong Aotian's Demonic Spirit Spear, but of course Nangong Aotian couldn't tell it.
"I don't know about this. I was in danger of my life at that time, but suddenly a few powerful warriors came and killed them, but I didn't know the identities of these people who suddenly arrived." Nangong
Aotian smiled and said.
"Since this matter involves me, I will definitely investigate carefully and give Duke Nangong an explanation." Liu Jianguo glanced at Nangong Aotian and said, "I wonder where you were attacked?"
Of course Nangong Aotian knew that they were going to investigate the scene. So he did not hide it and explained in detail the location where he was attacked.
"I wonder if I can take away the bodies of these assassins?" Liu Jianguo thought for a while and said.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have already told His Highness the Third Prince about this. I hope he can help me find the murderer. So I can't give this body to you for the time being." Nangong Aotian said with some hesitation.
Liu Jianguo's face showed contempt, but he quickly covered it up: "My third brother doesn't seem to have much experience in this area, and he doesn't have as many manpower as I do to investigate this matter. After all, he has only entered the court not long ago, and at this time
It has also implicated me, so I still hope to handle this matter personally."
"This..." Nangong Aotian frowned and said, "To be honest with Your Highness, Miss Dongfang Phoenix was also seriously injured in the attack yesterday. I am absolutely unwilling to give up at this time, so..."
"Oh, Miss Phoenix was also attacked?" Liu Jianguo seemed a little surprised.
"Yes, she went out with me." Nangong Aotian said, "I will never let this matter go."
"In this case, I won't take away all the corpses. I want to take away two corpses. I can use them to find evidence." Liu Jianguo thought for a while and said, "I wonder if Marquis Nangong is willing?"
"This is best. I hope His Highness can give me a reply as soon as possible." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said, "I also hope this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Well, I won't delay." Liu Jianguo said and glanced at the two people beside him, Wu Zun.
Of course, the two of them knew what Liu Jianguo meant, so they stepped forward and put the body into the space ring. Then they left with Liu Jianguo.
"Aotian, I wonder if His Highness the First Prince will investigate this matter with all his heart." Sun Yifeng saw Liu Jianguo leaving and looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"Definitely, he will think that I am doubting him. At this time, she is also very likely to be doubting His Highness the Second Prince. Once he finds out about this matter, he will be praised by the emperor, and he will also be favored by me.
." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "So he will definitely pursue this matter with all his strength.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince will definitely investigate this matter with all his strength when he learns from the Emperor." Li Changfeng said, "He will probably also pursue the First Prince."
"We don't need to worry about the rest." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
Several people were sitting in the living room talking, and after half an hour, someone announced that His Highness the Second Prince and the Commander of the Dongfang Xiaotian Army were here.
Of course Dongfang Xiaotian was worried about the safety of his granddaughter, and His Highness the Second Prince was of course ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to investigate the attack on Nangong Aotian.
After recuperating last night, Dongfang Phoenix was able to get out of bed and walk around freely, but her face still looked a little pale. Of course she walked out when her grandfather came.
Seeing that his granddaughter was fine, Dongfang Xiaotian felt relieved.
The second prince asked in detail about the attack on Nangong Aotian, then took away the remaining five corpses and left.
With the emperor's imperial edict, Nangong Aotian would certainly not keep these corpses. Besides, even without this imperial edict, Nangong Aotian would not have planned to keep these corpses. These were originally prepared for His Highness the Second Prince.
His Highness the Second Prince learned that Nangong Aotian seemed to be suspicious of Liu Jianguo. He also knew that Liu Jianguo was also investigating the matter, so he did not stay too much. After knowing everything he wanted to know, he said a few words and left in a hurry.
"Tian'er, what's going on with you?" Dongfang Xiaotian frowned and asked when he saw the second prince leaving.
"The person who assassinated me should be someone from the Lion Empire." Nangong Aotian said.
"Who is the person who saved you? Judging from the situation, he is very powerful?" Dongfang Xiaotian frowned and said, "You didn't ask about their situation?"
"No one saved me, I killed them." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "I just said this to prevent them from finding out my details and to prevent the enemy from finding out the situation."
"Did you kill them?" Dongfang Xiaotian looked at Nangong Aotian in surprise.
"It's hard to explain this matter, but we are also very dangerous." Nangong Aotian did not explain too much.
"Girl, do you feel better?" Dongfang Xiaotian then looked at Dongfang Phoenix and asked.
"There's nothing going on anymore," Dongfang Phoenix said.
"Now that the people from the Lane Empire have started to attack you, you have to be careful when you go out in the future." Dongfang Xiaotian said with a frown.
"I will do it, don't worry about that." Nangong Aotian said confidently.
